Question

I'm kind of worried and need some guidance. Its been 53 days since I might have been exposed to HIV. I used an automated Western blot system for testing and the result came back negative. Does this mean I'm definitely in the clear, or should I be concerned? What does "negative conclusion" mean in this context? I really need to understand what my next steps should be.

Question

I've been having some trouble with swallowing, like it feels weird or painful. So I went to my doctor, and two weeks ago, they did a throat swab and put me on Amoxicillin for a week. But the test results came back, and it turns out I have Staphylococcus Aureus mrsa. I'm a bit worried because I've heard mrsa can be resistant to Amoxicillin. Does this mean I need a different antibiotic now?
